@nycki96 @gocu54 I never said Israel has some sort of right to divinely kill, as you put it. It has a duty to defend its citizens, and to do whatever it takes to ensure that things like October 7 never happen again. It does not have an obligation to continue to tolerate its neighbors lobbing missiles at it or committing terrorist attacks inside it or abducting its citizens, not even for the sake of your vaunted peace. There's being a peaceful person, and then there's being at best naive and at worst expecting Israel to operate by a standard you do not expect any other nation to operate by. If you want less violence, then maybe you should sue for Israel's neighbors to attack less, and in the case of Gaza since you keep trying to tie everything back to it, for Hamas to surrender and hand back all the hostages

@nycki96 @gocu54 Also, and especially since you think Israel went too far in Iran even though it has only targeted military targets and the assets needed for its neuclear weapons program, do you expect people to just allow themselves to be killed in order to avoid killing or is there any situation where your peace plan for humanity would permit anyone to kill? or is it unicorns and rainbows all the way down?

@nycki96 @gocu54 And just to clarify on Gaza, Israel's going after military targets there too. You just apparently think Hamas should be allowed to get away with putting them in hospitals and schools and every other kind of civilion infrastructure they can manage because, after all, Israel is going too far or something.

You'll do fine. You got this, and we're all sending good vibes and prayers your way and up on your behalf.

Yeah it'd be awesome if they'd stop talking like Clingons, but on the other hand it's a small price to pay for 30 years of promises finally being kept

@lynnskyi @nycki96 @gocu54 What David said. This place is not very diverse at all, and anyone who doesn't toe the line on the moving goalposts of progressive orthodoxies on every single topic finds out real quick what happens when this network decides to police things.

@nycki96 @gocu54 Israel has made effort after effort after effort towards peace. Every single time, it gets Palestinian terrorism in return. In response to multiple offers of 97% of the West Bank, it has gotten rejection and more terrorism. As far as aid and starving is concerned, Israel has facilitated 1,813,484 tons of food and other aid into Gaza since the start of the war, which Hamas then steals significant chunks of and then sells back to the population at exhorbitant rates, and you blame Israel for any and all suffering. You claim you don't support Israel's people being killed only to then scream bloody murder whenever Israel does anything to stop it. What do you think they should do, offer Hamas and Hezballah tea and pastries and ask politely to please stop the rockets and raids?
